Add support for devmem TX in ncdevmem.

This is a combination of the ncdevmem from the devmem TCP series RFCv1
which included the TX path, and work by Stan to include the netlink API
and refactored on top of his generic memory_provider support.

Usually the self-tests are included towards the end of the series, to
help reviewers building-up on previous patches knowledge.

I had the same reaction, but in cases where uAPI is simpler than 
the core code it may actually help the understanding to start with
the selftest. Dunno. Only concern would be that the test won't work
if someone bisects to this commit, but that's not very practical?
